Stand and Deliver notes (part two)

Mr. Escalante gets out of the hospital as quickly as possible in order to get back to teaching his students. A great example of what a good teacher he was, was when he came into the class after he came back from the hospital and all of his students rejoiced and got excited. I know from personal experience I would only do that to an exceptional teacher. From the point he got back and on he pushed his students to work hard to get good scores on their AP exams and to understand calculus. When it came time for his students to take the exam, they all did great. For some reason, this rose suspicion of cheating and threatened the kids integrity. Mr. Escalante wouldn't stand for this and accused the men accusing his students of discrimination because they're all Hispanic. He said that if they were Caucasian they would not have risen this suspicion and he was furious about this. The two men that thought the kids had all cheated demanded that they take the test again so it was obvious that they weren't cheaters. Mr. Escalante thought this was a ridiculous notion at first but then realized they had no choice and then told the kids that it was the only way to prove themselves. He dedicated himself to teaching them all that next day to, even through the night, which meant him inviting them into his house. Mr. Escalante was an exceptional teacher.
